(More customer reviews)No other brand of suvival horror will ever come close.
This game makes Resident Evil look like the 7th Heaven Christmas Special.RE relies on the "boo, something jumped out of nowhere" scare.It's not bad, but it's more James Cameron than Clive Barker.
Silent Hill's kind of horror is the kind that slithers slowly up your back and hisses in your ear as you gawk in horror at the twisted travesties that lie before you.You can't tear your eyes away, and the images follow you into your sleep.In terms of story and atmosphere, Silent Hill is heavily influenced by the filmmakers Clive Barker and, in my opinion, David Lynch.Rather than explaining the horror away with some tiresome nonsense about a corrupt corporation's biological creation, SH unashamedly dives full-bore into the realms of dark psychology, the occult, and the border between the most wretched of nightmares and Hell itself.
Leave it to Konami to put out another killer game soundtrack.We'd expect no less from the great folks who brought us Castlevania and Metal Gear.Silent Hill's soundtrack alone is enough to gray the hairs on your head.It's eerie, experimental, and deliciously twisted.Just LET me find the soundtrack on CD...
Two gripes:bad voice acting and lame, poorly-translated dialogue.In this case, all is forgiven, as Silent Hill is still scarier and darker than any survival horror game out there. (...)
